DSUSD Family Programs
In partnership with Desert Sands Unified School District, Positivity In Motion supports family programs focused on children’s mental health and well-being. The initiative includes Strengthening Families, Parent Project, and Loving Solutions, which help families build communication and coping skills, strengthen relationships, and address behavioral, emotional, and family challenges. Positivity In Motion also supports outreach and participation so more families can access these programs.
Our Mission
To strengthen our community by providing parents with essential skills, resources, and support, fostering resilient families where both parents and children can thrive.
Key Programs & Impact
We have successfully launched several workshops with incredible participation this fall:
Parent Project: Serving 10-11 parents.
Loving Solutions: Amazing turnout with 30 parents in the English session and 12 in the Spanish session.
Strengthening Families: Currently engaging 11 parents and 17 children.
Our "Resilience in Action" program has already established 35 classes for the fall semester—a program that didn't even exist a year ago.
Our impact is expanding, with referrals from Child Protective Services and interest from Palm Springs Unified and the Casa Cecilia Recovery Home.
